 I think the typeface conveys some feeling itself. Imagine a Tom Clancy 
novel in the New Yorker's typeface.   That is incongruous connotation,bu there 
is also a typeface some of whose lower case letters are connected in a 
rather precious way,mimicking an eighteenth century typeface-imagine the Clancy 
set in that.
